FC has a bonus to rad weapons and I see no reason FCs couldnt utilize weapons like gunners do.


This is a very good point that should be payed a lot of attention to.

About the RPW.

I have never heard of one being built, but i can see no reason for any gunner to upgrade from their dread to one.

There's no need, you gain 4 speed, and 2% to resists, but nothing game changing.

I'm suggesting something of a beef to it, something to make it useful and not make changing to a PBF a better option.

Maybe an inbuilt aug that would help gunners (that doesn't use an aug slot), or some sort of inbuilt aura that lowers resists to enemies or adds stats to missiles, maybe an inbuilt missile gen like a Red Photon Gatling Missile Generator.

Honestly, I would much rather use a PBF or PWave over the RPW in it's current state.

I'm currently in the process of building a RPW so I'm probably bias but the idea of some sort of aura that effects missiles would be nice, in particular, better speed would be awesome.

I guess you guys aren't familiar with what a Red Photon Doomsday Device does.

I am not aware with the DD.

Also, I really thought about Zeus Throne. Hopefully in the next month or two I will have one. It really goes well with my playstyle. Although I'd like to stress that an extra augmenter slot would be awesome. I'd pay a couple hundred hull for it.

Let's hear what Laptop Boy has to say after he has used his Zeus Throne+ for some time. Who knows, maybe it is fine for Gunners and that it only needs an adjusted super special to be worth it for Fleet Commanders as well.

After seeing LB's ZT+ in action I want either a gunner nerf or a sniper beef!

Neither is going to happen.

I presume it primarily uses missiles?

That's the interesting thing about missile focused gunners; because they rely on (generally) non-aug effected missiles instead of weapons, they could have no aug slots and do just about as much damage as if they had a lot. Of course, the missiles costs per day are going to be insane, but someone in a ZT+ isn't going to care about something like that...

3 Aug slot Capital Ships with inbuilt launchers that have a 1-1.5 second launch time would be nice.

He uses both weapons and missiles.
